“The manager has given us belief again, he has changed the mentality of the players.”

“The manager has given us belief again, he has changed the mentality of the players,” he told the Mirror.

“I remember the first day he walked in. We had a meeting with the players and he explained some things as the manager does at the beginning, and then he explained about what he wants from the team and the club.”

Liverpool staged a stunning comeback against Borussia Dortmund on their way to the final and Mignolet believes that result shows exactly what the Reds are about.

He added: “He has worked on making sure we believe we can turn things around when things go wrong, and the Dortmund game showed that, that we believe we have enough quality and that we believe we can match the strongest teams.

“Now it is about believing we can produce these performances on a consistent level, not only in Europe or against the biggest teams but also on not-so-nice days against teams like West Brom, Norwich, Crystal Palace and Watford.

“With a full preparation with the boys this summer that will help the manager in what he wants to achieve next season.”
